This turned out great! I experimented with thinking of each layer as adding a color or a texture instead of thinking of the actual photograph. I started with the photo of the barn that the instructor provided. I layered a photo of sunset over the wetlands that my husband took. By setting it on "color burn" mode, it added a fiery glow. Then I added two layers of the same garden photo on top, repositioning them to add bursts of color here and there. On top of that is a layer of a cement texture to mellow out the colors and a textured frame to finish the edges. The cowboy is an extracted image from a vintage valentine. I finished it by thinking of some descriptive text to add. Yeehaw! Happy Valentine's Day!!!
